MINDFULNESS

I Started Loving Boring Things To Enjoy Simple Things in My Life

Avoiding quick pleasure changed my attitude to many things in my life

I love procrastinating, as many other people do. I have TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube on my phone. In pauses between my work sessions, I often decided to take my phone for 5–15 minutes.

Recently, I found that vibrant content steals a lot of energy and makes ordinary things uninteresting. For example, you can prefer scrolling your phone instead of reading an article.

The primary analog I see in the dining sector is that people who often eat fast food like McDonald’s prefer to cook something other than regular food cooked at home. It’s not so tasty, has no amazing smell, etc.

People stopped liking boring things. After reading many materials on this topic, I found that you must love boring things to be successful at something.

I noticed that my girlfriend often lost interest in the movie and started checking her TikTok on the phone, even if the film was enjoyable. Recently, I caught myself doing the same thing.

We lose interest in long types of content and things that require thinking. Watching 10-second videos for 30 minutes is much easier than reading a book for 10 minutes.

This idea makes me feel terrible because our world goes deeper into quick pleasures.
